not worth $80. I think I can get you one for $100 shipped if you're interested.

:crazyr: Some other sucker bought a Swindle at the Target near my work. Now there's just 1 Swindle and 1 Grimlock on the shelf. I predict a new case next week.

I bought a Swindle, but because A) I wanted an Alternator at my work desk, and B) I wanted a cheap one that wouldn't make me sad if it dissapeared



There's a Swerve alternator at my local target... anyone need him?

I can locally purchase quite a few eHobby items

- red/clear hodrod
- black starscream
- ghost of starscream
- Iron Hide
- Ratchet
- Trailbreaker
- Sideswipe
- Megaplex

etc. :happysad:

I'm not sure if I want to venture into the eHobby madness though.

:goodjob:

go go go, hunt hunt hunt.

The Target really near my work still has an empty Alternator shelf. :a: It's been like that for 2 weeks.

The Target not too far from work has 7 Swindles on the shelf now. 7 mf'ing Swindles. That's insane.

(pep talk time)

When Alternators are released, they come in case assortments. The only problem is, these case assortments do not make sense at all.

Swerve was shipped for 4 weeks in July and August. He's not in the current case (Prowl, Decepticharge, Wheeljack, Swindle) and not in the upcoming Nov/Dec case.

Swindle has been shipped in almost every case assortment since January.

January
07 Jazz
08 Grimlock *new*
09 Swindle *new*
10 Windcharger *new*

February
08 Grimlock
09 Swindle
10 Windcharger
11 Ravage

March / April
09 Swindle
10 Windcharger
11 Ravage
12 Shockblast

May
09 Swindle
11 Ravage
12 Shockblast
13 Wheeljack

July / August
08 Grimlock (x2)
09 Swindle
15 Swerve *new*

September / October
09 Swindle
13 Wheeljack
14 Decepticharge *new*
15 Prowl *new*

November / December
15 Prowl *new*
16 Sunstreaker *new*
17 Skids *new*
18 Tracks *re-issue*

As you can see, Swerve and Decepticharge have been released for one time only in 2005. Last time this happened, Tracks skyrocketed to $70 on eBay.

In short, get Swerve now now now now now now now
